DOS-Like Edit Control

[McGod]

How can I make a edit control so that I can let them input into the edit control, but not let them edit what was already outputted above, like DOS.

Ehm, just output stuff they write to like, a label or whatever they can not change?

So you have an edit control and a control that is writable and can scroll when needed. Whenever stuff is entered in the edit control and enter is pressed or a button is pressed you read the input control, put the text on the other control and empty the edit control...

only way i know is to keep them separate input/output
